Bertie County Teachers Welcomed

For the scond year in a row, the Windsor Bertie County Chamber of Commerce sponsored a day during which new teachers for Bertie County were shown many of the highlights of our County. The day started Wednesday at the Freeman Hotel, the home of the Chamber of Commerce and ended at Hope Plantation, the home of David Stone, Bertie Countie's former Governor of the State of North Carolina.


Many of the town of Windsor and County dignitaries gathered to greet the teachers and welcome them to our community and their new positions of responsibility with our children.
